Hello,
I am reviving an old computer. The specs are as follows:
* motherboard: Asus A8V Deluxe
* cpu: Opteron 165
* memory: 2GB
* Hard Disk: 500GB WD Blue (PATA)
it still has an AGP slot for the graphics adapter.
I have an ATI X800XT in there. I is (rather was) a good card, but I would like to try and install Battlefield 3 on this machine. I know it's old and it will never offer great performance, but still...I would like to try it. I need a new GPU, cause this one doesn't support DirectX 10 and that's a requirement to be able to play Battlefield 3.
I was looking at the following cards: HD3850, HD3870 and HD4760.
Can any of you tell me which one would performe better and if there would be any significant difference between those cards. I was especially thinking about the amount of memory on the cards. I noticed you can get a HD4760 with 1GB in comparison to 512MB on both other cards. Would the 1GB obviously be the much option or mayby not ?
I would be playing on medium to low settings and a resolution of something like 1024 * 768 or 1280 * 1024.
Anyone can give me some more information ?
